What self-tanner do you use? I shared all my favorite products and tips for the perfect sunless tan in a blog post here.

What’s your advice for new bloggers? You don’t grow overnight, this takes time. Make sure you are able to post consistently and include high quality images before you decide to start blogging seriously. Make sure to network yourself, by visiting other blogs and commenting. Use trending hashtags that are relevant on instagram and twitter. Blogging is very fun, but a lot of hard work and dedication. Good things don’t come easy, ever!

What type of camera do you use? We use this camera here and this lens here.

How can you grow your instagram?

Take high quality, well lit photos and post consistently. Tag brands you are wearing on instagram for a possible feature/regram. Use relevant hashtags and post at peak times of the day. Instagram now has analytics that show you what times have the best engagement from your audience.

What instagram filters do you use?

To edit photos taken on my phone, I use Afterlight, VSCO and Snapseed are all my favorites.

My Favorite Gym Sets

I get lots of questions from you guys about which brands I like most for fitness apparel, and honestly, I have quite a few. But one set that I reach for maybe more than any lately is this jade set from Girlfriend Collective. The color is what initially drew me in, and then I learned more about the company. I think it’s such a cool concept that I wanted to feature them today.

Unlike a lot of clothes out there, Girlfriend Collective is eco-friendly and extremely thoughtful about the way they create their inventory. The items are actually made from recycled fishing nets and ocean plastic, which I think is SO cool. (You can read more about the process here as it’s pretty amazing.) On top of that, every time a pair of leggings is purchased, they donate to Healthy Seas, a corporation that funds divers to remove nets that are killing our ocean life.

Once I learned about all that, I knew I had to try. And as soon as I got these items on my body – and through a workout – I was hooked. The pieces are all sleek and simple which I’m loving in general lately. Everything pairs nicely together and I especially like their sports bras and leggings. I actually have this same set in 3 colors now, and plan on continuing to support this brand that I’ve grown to respect so much. Plus, the quality is top notch and holds up well while working out – or heading to run errands after.

I hope you like hearing about this brand that I’m loving and check out their site. I know you’ll love what they have to offer!

Thanks for stopping by!
